 |
|
Hello guys,
I want to build a computer for playing games and software of a time period that goes from 2000 to 2004. I don't know what is better between AMD Athlon XP or Pentium 4, considering prices and actual performance differences. What's your advice? |

| Although I prefer the AMD, for gaming performance the Intel setup is slightly better, pending the processor you choose. The Pentium 4 setup will be cheaper also. Prices on socket A (462) stuff is getting ridiculous lately. |

| By choosing P4, you will have the ability to use an Intel Chipset .. That wins by several points in my book .. |

| Neither, Athlon 64 FTW! Athlon XP misses SSE2 and the Pentium 4.. yeah well let's not talk about that. |

Obviously...but it wasn't one of the choices. |

I'd probably go for a VIA KT333 based system with a universal AGP, maybe even AGP Pro. It would allow to use any AGP video card. 2GHz+ Athlon XP is quite fast for gaming of early 2000's titles.
I still remember how much fun I've had with a dual Athlon MP 2800+ machine based on a Tyan Tiger MPX with no overclocking options at all, yet I did it anyway
